		In late 1935, at a time when the Wilson home still functioned as a halfway house, small groups of alcoholics and their wives began to meet there for an open house on Tuesday evenings; thus the second de facto AA group was born.
		Wilson had received a contract offer with provision for a $1500 advance from a commercial publisher, Harper and Brothers, but after much contemplation—he was in serious financial straits despite Rockefeller’s gift, and $1500 was a lot of money in 1938—he decided that AA should publish its own literature.
		Bill Wilson was an addicted smoker, and by the late ’60s he had developed emphysema, which caused him increasing pain and debilitation as the decade advanced.

	The Other Women
		Bill Wilson's imagination was certainly vivid: Even while Bill was still busy just writing the opening chapters of the Big Book in late 1938 and early 1939, he was describing wives who were already jealous of the book because the book had already cured their husbands of alcoholism in just a few weeks.
		Bill Wilson even ended up putting her in his will, giving her ten percent of the estate that was going to his wife Lois.
		Lois' book is also pretty pathetic: it was probably ghost-written for her, somebody else putting words into her mouth, yet again, because it came out in 1979, long after Bill's death, when she was also very old and frail.
